Click on IMAP over SSL/TLS and it will download a file with a name similar to account@youdomain Secure Email Setup.mobileconfig
You can send this file to any iOS device, but remember that its specific to the email account selected. (iDrive and SMS are won't open the file correctly; email it to yourself using another email address like gmail)
After the file is opened; your device will ask you for a PASSWORD or PIN CODE this is your phones / tablets and not your email password.
The next password you have to enter is for your actual email, we suggest that when you email yourself the .mobileconfig file to include your password then copy paste it into the prompt.
